Who ever heard of a handcasket?
A tisket, a tasket,
I lost my little basket,
I wrote a letter to my love,
And on the way I lost it.
I lost it, I lost it,
I lost my little basket,
And if nobody picks it up,
I think that I might die.
And now that I have typed that up, I can’t remember why I thought it relevant!
And here we have the source of your confusion. You should follow the example of Mr K and 'bert and just stop thinking. Then you can type what ever you want without impunity.
And no one will notice.
??
Okay, well maybe someone will notice.
Par for the course with young numpt!! 
What makes it achingly unbelievable, is, hes one of the ships, ‘brains-on-legs’, even without his head!
I doubt whether my dipso human couldve conjured up, 'without impunity'. Mind you! Now Ive said it, he`ll probably prove me wrong

I guess I figured if double entendre was fair game…
Much like “I not got no brain” and other double negatives.
Anyone remember “allergies to misquotes”?
I guess having to explain the joke ruins it.
But then again you all DID prove my rather obscure point.

You want to be careful you don`t slip, young lady!

I’m still deciding exactly which scene will come first, but one of many scene-opening lines is:
Tommy Tangaroa woke up just before the Changing Bell.Here’s the opening of a horror novel of mine (in its third draft and awaiting comments from the editor), the first big project I have used Scrivener for:
Pumpkins left out to rot turn into vampires. Did you know that, Jane? The thought tickle-tastes my brain like a forked tongue, as I contemplate murder, when the absinthe begins to take hold.
Mère de Lucifer,
Très bon, mon brave, Très bon!
Welcome to the leetle shop of, how you say, HORRORS!
Le D 
You are about to meet one of them below!
Bon chance mon brave! Bon chance!
My interest in this line depends on what comes after it. This could end up an interesting opening or a dull one.*
How can you tickle-taste…? …Okay, I think I got the image, but it took a few seconds. I like the “Pumpkins left out to rot turn into vampires”, but why is “Did you know that, Jane?” tickle-tasting the brain? It’ll flow better if you cut the “Did you know” sentence.*
And is murder being contemplated as the narrator thinks or when the absinthe takes hold? If the first, cut that comma before the and; if the second, that sentence might need some restructuring.*
*Please append “in this gal’s opinion” :mrgreen:
Don’t change or cut a darned thing. I thought it flowed wonderfully as I read through it. I certainly had no need to pause and think it over; not even for a few seconds. Not knowing what comes after I won’t hazard a guess as to the positioning of the comma either. I’m sure you’ve got it right. 
Mr Eldritch,
Le D, could even, ‘taste’ it!
He was a bit perturbed at first, because he feared it was his Absinthe that was being quaffed. He hates sharing, even with fellow vampirics.

That’s a fine hook you have there. It promises a lot. Count me in.
OK, I can see this thread is a bit old, but I’ll toss one on the table anyway. Perhaps we can revive the discussion for a noob such as myself?
“The young communications ensign stood suddenly at his post, still green in the face from post-jump sickness.”
tinrobot,
welcome aboard this old tub of a pirate ship, Scrivener.
If you mean the ensign, ‘Shot to attention’, then I wouldnt be too arsed as to where, in this case, especially as theres a jarring connection twixt post, and post-jump sickness. I think the inference you expect to be taken by the reader, is that the ensign has recently parachuted or skydived into the location, and not jumped off a post of some kind. Also, Ensign is a naval rank, not, normally, associated with skydiving. Obviously, one sentence, lacking pre/post contextual qualification, can only convey so much. I`d definitely dump post/post connection.
Once again,t, welcome aboard.

Suddenly seems out of place. Was said individual not at the specified post a moment ago?
Vic-k’s post fetish doesn’t seem to phase me once you lose suddenly.
